Program Delivery – Campus Locations
The Primary/Junior (B10) and Junior/Intermediate (B20) programs will be offered at both the St. Catharines and Burlington campuses. As space is limited at each location, campus assignments will be determined by the Teacher Education program. Students should be prepared to study at either location. Students can expect to be notified of their campus assignment by the end of February 2027.
Exception: The B20 program with a French teachable will be offered exclusively at the Burlington campus.
The Intermediate/Senior (B30) program will only be offered at the Burlington campus.

Assessment of your application
Applications will be assessed based on the following two components:
- Academic requirements, valued at 70% of the admission assessment, and
- The online Casper test, valued at 30% of the admission assessment.
Personal or professional recommendations and references on the applicant’s behalf are not considered as part of a student’s application package.
Spaces in the Teacher Education program are extremely limited, and admission is not guaranteed by fulfilling the minimum requirements. We receive significantly more applications than spaces available, which makes this a highly competitive professional program to gain admission to.
A student may only hold an offer to one division of the Consecutive Teacher Education. When applying, please select your program (division) preferences with this in mind.
Please notify Admissions if you have also applied to an undergraduate or post-graduate Brock program during this application period.
Receipt of an offer in the previous cycle does not guarantee admission in the new application cycle. Additionally, deferrals are not permitted.
Academic Requirements
Applicants must meet the minimum requirements for all programs in addition to program specific requirements.
You will be assessed, regardless of preferred division, on your admission average. Brock requires a minimum “B” average, equivalent to 70% at Brock, based on the best 10.0 full undergraduate degree level credits (not including college diploma transfer credits).
These 10.0 undergraduate credits must be complete with final grades on the transcript at the time of application.
Other important details
- Your undergraduate degree studies must be complete and undergraduate degree requirements met by April 2027. You must provide proof of degree requirements met by June 30, 2027. There are no exceptions. Failure to meet this requirement will result in removal from the program.
- A full undergraduate (degree-level) credit requires a full academic year of study. For example, a full university course normally runs from September to April or is the equivalent of two semester-long courses. Both full-year and half-year courses are acceptable to meet the ten full undergraduate degree-level admissions requirement.
- Please research your home University’s credit system to ensure you have met the minimum academic requirements. For example, if your home university follows a 3.00 and 6.00 credit hour system, a 3.00-credit course is considered equivalent to one semester of study and a 6.00-credit course as equivalent to a full university course or two semesters of study.
- For your courses to be counted as completed, they must show on your transcript with final grades at the time of application.
- Any changes you make to your undergraduate registration after submitting your application may make you ineligible for admission consideration. Check with Admissions prior to making any changes.
- Only those credits completed at the undergraduate degree level within an acceptable undergraduate degree program are used to calculate admission averages.
- College diploma credits assigned as advanced standing toward an undergraduate degree program will not be used in the calculation of the admission average.
- Some preference is given to applicants with graduate-level qualifications.
In addition to the minimum academic requirements above, applicants must meet the requirements for the specific division they are applying to.
Acceptable Degree
The minimum credential for admission is an undergraduate degree conferred by an acceptable university or other postsecondary institution as outlined below:
- In Canada, an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates.
- In Canada, an acceptable college is one that is authorized to confer degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates; the college must be publicly funded.
- In the United States, an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of jurisdiction in which it operates. A university must be recognized by one of the following regional accreditation agencies: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; New England Association of Schools and Colleges; North Central Association of Colleges and Schools; Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities; Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; or Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The university must be considered equivalent to a university referred to in number 1.
- In a country other than Canada an acceptable university is one that is authorized to confer academic degrees under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it operates. Typically, in the case of a country that is a member of the Commonwealth, the university is eligible for membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities. For all other countries, eligibility for membership in the International Association of Universities is expected. A university must be considered equivalent to an institution referred to in number 1.
If you are a student submitting an application which includes Undergraduate course(s), an Undergraduate degree, and/or a Masters or Doctorate credential earned outside of Canada, you must order a World Education Service (WES) Course-by-Course Evaluation, which must be received by Brock no later than November 9, 2026.
*Students applying with courses or credentials from the United States are exempt from providing the WES Evaluation.
Please review the details regarding this requirement and order your Evaluation quickly as WES processing times vary and Brock must receive your WES Evaluation by the November 9, 2026 deadline. There are no exceptions or extensions permitted.
Brock University reserves the right to determine if degrees granted by institutions in the above categories are suitable for the purpose of admission to Brock’s Teacher Education program.
You are required to take the Casper test [CAN Casper 2. (CSP-10211)] as part of your Consecutive Teacher Education application to Brock.
Learn more about registering for and completing your assessment on our Casper information page.
